ELECTRONEUTRALITY CONDITION


Meaning of ELECTRONEUTRALITY CONDITION in English

"The expression of nature's tendency to keep any system electrically neutral, that is, if it contains electrically charged particles the total sum of negative charges will be equal to the total sum of positive charges. Applying this condition to a solution of electrolytes implies the equality of the total positive ionic charges to the total negative ionic charges. This equality should hold even as we subdivide the solution into smaller and smaller volume elements. "
